Short bio: Milind Tambe is
a Professor of Computer Science and Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of
Southern California(USC).
He leads the TEAMCORE Research Group at USC, with research focused on
agent-based and multi-agent systems. He is a fellow of AAAI (Association for Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence) and recipient of the ACM (Association for Computing
Machinery) "Autonomous Agents Research Award". He is also the recipient of the
Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Homeland security award,
US First Coast Guard District's Operational Excellence Award, Certificate of Appreciation from the US
Federal Air Marshals Service, special commendation given by the Los Angeles World Airports
police from the city of Los Angeles, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
use-inspired research award, Okawa foundation faculty research award, the RoboCup scientific challenge award,
USC Steven B. Sample Teaching and Mentoring award
and the ACM recognition of service award.
Prof. Tambe and his research group's papers have been selected as best papers
at a dozen premier Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research Conferences and workshops; these have
included best paper awards at the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems,
International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents and the David Rist Prize of the Military Operations
Research Society. Additionally, algorithms developed by his Teamcore research group have been
deployed for real-world use by several agencies including the LAX police, the Federal Air Marshals service, the US Coast Guard
and the Transportation security administration. He received his Ph.D. from the
School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
